“The hotel's location raises concerns, given reports of loitering and safety issues; additionally, discrepancies between advertised and actual pet fees and check-out times create uncertainty. While amenities are adequate, the potential for noise and unexpected charges detracts from its appeal. I would suggest travelers carefully weigh these factors.”
